I view @Experimental to denote features that are more invasive, optional, and 
may not work as expected, not simply to denote things that users can experiment 
with. @Experimental hides these configuration items from a typical user's view, 
making the target audience developers, rather than end users. While it is 
currently experimental as a patch, I think the expectation here is that when 
this feature is ready for merging into a branch, the feature will be targeted 
to end users and made available for them to tweak, so @Experimental doesn't 
quite apply.

I agree, this feature could be improved by allowing more compression types in 
the configuration, rather than simply enable/disable, and that should probably 
be done before merging in. However, there are special considerations with other 
compression types. Snappy allows you to take a byte array and make another byte 
array. The other types work with streams, and you'd have to ensure the stream 
is flushed before sync is called. Snappy's byte[]-to-byte[] is a bit easier to 
experiment with, as a first pass.
